This was another meal that my mother-in-law made a lot with canned chicken. She would also sub out canned tuna and make tuna noodles as well with a recipe similar to this one.

So if you love the comfort of creamy noodles with chicken, and you want it fast, then consider using this recipe and adding some canned chicken.

23. One Pot Tomato Tortellini Soup

This is another comforting tomato soup that would be great at warming you up from the inside out this winter.

However, this is also a great recipe to utilize canned chicken because it is added protein and not the main focus of the dish.

You are going to make a chicken mixture that gets breaded so it turns into a delicious little chicken cake.
